Abstract
A list of 179 weevil species collected from 1996 to 2019 at an isolated steppe site in plain northwestern part of Stavropol Territory in southeastern European Russia is given and compared with the weevil assemblage at Ina Village in the Barguzinskaya Depression, Buryatia. Characteristic taxonomic and ecological features of the both weevil assemblages are discussed; the ratio of the higher plants to weevil species diversity is about 1.4 : 1 in Stavropol Territory, and almost 6 : 1 in Buryatia. The distribution of the genus Mononychus along the steppe zone is shown, Mononychus ireos is recorded for the first time for Mongolia.
期刊介绍:
Entomological Review publishes papers dealing with all aspects of theoretical and applied entomology; and covers systematics, faunistics, zoogeography, evolution, ecology, morphology, physiology of insects, spiders and mites; as well as biological and chemical control of pests. It is one of the few entomological journals with a broad coverage.
